Walking and hiking

Walk this way

Walking in the mountains

There's nothing quite like the great British outdoors; rolling hills, lush fields, jagged coastlines and spectacular views. And there's no better way to experience it than on foot. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just want to work off a large lunch we’ll find a walk for you.

If it’s a long distance country walk you’re after, look out for
National Trails
. There are 15 Trails in England and Wales, covering about 2,500 miles of some of Britain’s finest landscapes and taking in some great historical sites – including Hadrian’s Wall – along the way. In Scotland, there are four officially designated
Long Distance Routes
, plus 16 routes in
Scotland’s Great Trails
, covering over 1,300 miles of breathtaking landscape from the Borders to the Highlands.

Britain’s cities aren’t short of scenic walking routes either.
Get Walking
has plenty of shorter routes to help you discover some of the hidden gems of cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham and Swindon.
